How to care for your dog?

"Beauty will save the world. We all know this is a great saying. Beauty will save you and our dogs from ill-will, and sometimes anger others, will help win favorable to them.

And how often at exhibitions and freeze, we delight: Here is a posture, gait, exterior, and shiny coat, and commands!

But we should not forget that beautiful dog - this is, above all, a healthy dog. And this dog needs daily care, attention, proper feeding, veterinary surgeon systematic consultation.

But what kind of dog can be considered beautiful? This question is not easy, and unambiguous answer to this question is no.Hounds, greyhounds, nark should be thin, lean body, as St. Bernard or newfoundler should look heavy and unwieldy. Beauty mastiff, boxer - in a short shiny coat, and the terrier must have a tight curly hair, wearing a beard and mustache. In short, the concept of beauty in general, and the dog in particular, is very difficult to admit a lot of interpretations, and relies solely on general and individual tastes. And for them, as you know, do not argue!

Wool

Wool in dogs varies, in different ways and have to take care of her. Probably the least hassle from the owners haired dogs.

Boxers, Great Danes, Dobermans, Rottweilers, and mongrels with short hair enough times in three days of brushing, not soft and not rigid, like a wardrobe. However, if the hair is very dirty, you can take and a hard brush, but its use must be carefully so as not to scratch the skin of the dog. Even if the dog seems to you very clean, not too lazy to take 10-15 minutes in the hands of a brush. This procedure is useful not only for wool, it provides an opportunity to massage the skin, increase blood flow to it.

By the way, now almost all have vacuum cleaners, and cleaning the apartment a good idea at the same time a little vacuumed the dog. However, her first reaction to such cleaning is not always positive, but this is only the beginning. Then, as a rule, the dog gets used to this procedure and even asked to be cleaned this way!

More trouble for owners of dogs with hair of medium length and long-haired: shepherds, huskies, collies, setters. Here, in addition to vacuuming, you need a thick ridge. Generally, the more you comb the hair, the better, but in the molting period is a must do every day. Incidentally, some amateur breeders do not emit a soft, combed wool, and gathered it, spun and then knitted warm mittens, hats, socks, sweaters. They say that things are out of this wool help with radiculitis and are the warmest.

Washing

Do I need to wash your dog? It is necessary, only very rarely. They washed the dog with warm water and soap or a neutral shampoo.

In winter, dogs love to roll about in the snow, and themselves this good clean their skin. And those dogs who do not like the snow bath, you can while walking to wipe clean the snow. Summer dog usually does not miss a chance to splash in a pond or river, he does well enough.

The sad fate of some light-fluffy dogs, especially lapdogs. The owners have even wash their pets almost every day, so even with soap and water. Hair from the immoderate bathing lose fat cover, become fragile and brittle. After washing the dog should be groomed.

Nose .

Over the nose of healthy dog care is not necessary. I awake dog, he is cold and slightly humid, and during sleep - a little warm. Some breeders believe that the tip of the nose can determine the temperature of the diseased animal. But better not to overestimate its sensitivity, put dog ordinary thermometer. If the temperature of the dogs are not above 39 degrees, do not worry.

Let your pets be healthy!

Do you need a dog?

Once on the street you see ... Or you were visiting friends and saw. Or co-worker brought a picture and you will see. In general, it does not matter where and under what circumstances this happened. And no matter what kind of dog you saw. But it is important that you have visited the idea: "And not for me to start the same?" Or: "But not for me to start another?". In short - "And if I did not start a dog?"

And you begin to think that it will change your life after the dog. And it turns out that the disadvantages of living with a dog much larger than advantages.

The dog takes a lot of free time ...

You could spend on themselves. We have to get up early to dress quickly and run out into the street in all weathers - the dog wants to write, regardless of the weather. And then wash your feet, regardless of the presence or absence of hot water, and for that drag to the bathroom and push there resisting the dog - many of them do not like to wash your feet, and then catch the dog in the apartment, spraying water in different directions, if she had run away from you. And this should be done quietly, because other pets are still asleep.

And when caught and dried - to cook the dog breakfast. If she is fed dry food - it is not difficult to pour and all, but if "real food? But leaving for work, you must remove all things into inaccessible places - many dogs have a tendency, remaining alone and pining for his master, gnawing his belongings ...

Some raiding an apartment, and returned, you can not even swear. First, it is made out of longing for you, but can you blame for love? And secondly, it was so long ago that the dog has forgotten and does not associate the punishment with such a trifle as a mutilated door or taken from the walls, wallpaper, and connects only with the owner - thus, the penalty is pointless and bad for you! Came - rejoiced to that given chaos and quick walk! And walk a lot and qualitatively - the dog, then the whole day was a home ... And the fact that you still do not eat, do not drink and did not go to the toilet - this is your problem!

Walked a couple of hours - again, regardless of the weather - repeated the trick with washing and wiping pads, removed mess ... Now you can begin to prepare dinner. Do not own (you got to do with!) And not the family - a dog! Because her treatment and violation of her treatment will cost you much more than yourself . At evening - deal with the hair: long-haired - to scratch, sleek - clean rubber gloves, wire-haired - trimmingovat, hairless dogs - smeared with creams ... However, all this can not do, if you prefer to clean the apartment from the wool. And then you can go to sleep. With a dog ...

You still have not changed your mind? Then ...

The dog takes a lot of money

Fodder, ammo, toys, vitamins, deworming, vaccines - all this is much more expensive than similar products for people. And then - service trainer, grummera, a veterinarian. And if you got a copy of the exhibition ... During the exhibition you pay, and if very lucky, and your dog will win - get a nice rozetochku, and if not - a handshake expert and a piece of paper with the description. True, at major international exhibitions give any valuable prizes, but they give no means all, and participation, training and travel will cost you in such an amount that is easier to buy these prizes in the store.

And if you fall, your dog should have offspring ... Then the money fly like birds of passage! Do not expect to get rich by selling puppies ... You first find who to sell them! In order to make money on the dogs, you must be very serious professionals, not only in dog breeding, but also in business. Or have such a furious luck, which rarely happens! And if the dog is sick ... There are not even talk about what - God forbid no trousers did not stay.

You still want a dog? Then ...

The dog - a source of endless mud and endless disease

With paws of dogs raining mud, with the mouth - saliva, and whole body hair. Even the dogs under a certain age are wont to write, and cocoa in the apartment, and some retain this "charming" habit of a lifetime. In addition, the dog - in most cases - do not eat very carefully, and after eating, even gently, wipes nose on you and your furniture. Even the dogs periodically raises all sorts of rubbish on the street, why the dog turns a characteristic smell of that stuff, and vomiting dog then be sure you have a home. I'm not convinced? Then ...

The dog has the ability to globally spoil your relationships with other people ...

And with all! Parents who are unhappy with what you are paying less attention than before the dog. With neighbors - not enough that the dog barks when you are at home, protecting you, and howls when you're not, pining for you. So she still shits on the local area and frightens small children and elderly people their horrific appearance. And if you still want to create a serious dog ... A frivolous dogs are no ... With someone you love can not be explained that the meeting you suddenly interrupted, and will do it every time on such trivial reasons as "pisi-doubtful. And if your dog it is and dislikes ... However, you can create favorite-kennel and combine visits with dog walks. But why do you this crazy? With friends who stop coming to you, as fur, dirt and slobbery head, gazing fondly from his knees, when one eats ... And visit them yourself you can not, as a dog and so the whole day at home alone, but if you take it with you, you dirty-hair-saliva in the apartments of friends are encouraged to have even less than in your apartment.

You still have not changed your mind? Moreover, you think that all this - very subtle detail on the background of adoring dog eyes? Then you really need a dog and wonder how you lived without it until now! One of the classics say: "If you can not write - do not write!", So: "If you can without the dog - do not get!" Well, if you can not ... " Congratulations - you are one of us!

What «talk» cat ears?

Cats, unlike people, use your ears not only receive information, but also for its transmission. Ears may change their position depending on the location of the sound source and with a peculiar facial expressions reflect the emotional state of the animal.

A cat uses five basic provisions of the ear that correspond fairly certain emotions: calm, anxiety, excitement, defense and aggression.
The state of rest corresponds to a position of the animal's ears, at which the auditory openings are directed forward and slightly to the side in such a way as if the cat quietly listening to what is interested it sounds. When the cat heard the alien sound, instantly goes from a calm, relaxed state in the voltage mode of hearing, her ears to change position, displaying a sense of anxiety.

If the sound is interested in the cat ears completely straightened and oriented so that the auditory canal was clearly directed toward the sound source. Ears maintain their position all the time while the cat stares her in the concerned area. If after the first sound of a cat hears something interesting from another source, for example, side, ears slightly shift direction focusing, while head position and direction of view will not change.

Condition excitement, conflict, anger or anxiety issue twitching ears. In some species of wild cats are jerks more clearly visible because of long tassels on the tips of the ears, but the domestic cat usually has no such decoration, and these signals are harder to notice. For some breeds of domestic cat are characterized by small tufts on the tips of the ears, they are especially noticeable at the Abyssinians, but these small dark arrows still clearly lose out in comparison with huge tassels of cats, such as Caracas lynx.

Ears defending cats take almost flat position. Cat tightly to their head, so as not to injure in a fight. Ripped and torn ears of cats involved in fights, indicate how important it is for the animal to hide away from prying claws are the vulnerable parts of his anatomy. Tightly to both sides of the head's ears are almost invisible when viewed from the front and give it a more rounded shape. For some breeds of cats, for example, Scottish Fold, characterized by flat against the position of ears, but it persists in the animal continually, regardless of emotional state. Due to this the representatives of this breed are always looking defender. It is hard to imagine how this feature affects the social life of these animals.

Cat in a state of aggression, but not afraid, keeps ears differently. In this situation, they also turned back, but pressed to the head is not as dense as in the previous case. The rear part of the ear becomes visible when viewed from the front, and this situation - the most formidable non-verbal signal, which can only lodge a cat. The nature of such ears is an intermediate position between the positions of anxiety and defense, in other words, it is - something between a reversal of forward and pressing the ears to the head. This situation could be described as «the position of readiness to problems». Cat seems to be saying: «I am ready to fight, but not scared, why did not intend to hide the ears». In this position, the back of the ear is visible because the full ear pressed to the head it must be pre-deployed back. Thus, if the opponent aggressive cat still dare to attack, then his ears will already be in position, ready for tight adjustment.

The position of the ears, typical of cats in a state of aggression, stresses a very striking elements of painting some wild animals. For example, the tigers have large white spots, bordered with black on the back of each ear. When the tiger is set aggressively, the last doubts in this uniquely dispel white spots on his ears to the object of his attention.

Good luck and health to you and your pet!
